Women in AV/IT (WAVIT), the nonprofit organisation dedicated to supporting and empowering women in the AV and IT industries, NSCA, and the AVIXA Women’s Council have announced the International Women’s Day event, “The Future is WE: Women & Equity,” where the AV/IT community can come together to empower, connect, and forge a path towards women’s equality. This event, organised by WAVIT, NSCA, and the AVIXA Women’s Council, aims to raise awareness and create an industry that is diverse, equitable, and inclusive.
“Mark your calendars and pull up a chair for an inspiring virtual session that explores the opportunities and challenges faced by women as catalysts for change in various fields, including technology/audio+visual, entrepreneurship, business, and leadership,” said WAVIT president and VP of marketing and corporate communications at AtlasIED, Gina Sansivero.
“Our keynote speaker, TeLisa Daughtry, an award-winning Serial Social Entrepreneur, Conscious Technologist, and STEM / DEI+Belonging Advocate, will share empowering stories, examine current trends, and inspire actionable steps towards creating a more inclusive and equitable tomorrow for women.”
Brandy Alvarado-Miranda, founder/director of WAVIT and CEO of BAM! marketing & PR, added: “We encourage the community to get involved for #IWD2024. Each year the theme is selected to bring about the largest day of engagement. But for us, it’s not just the day, it’s a month-long celebration to forge a more inclusive world for women collectively.
“Get involved. Like our tagline states, “Ripples make waves”, and you can too! We’re encouraging the community to strike the official #InspireInclusion pose (Heart Hands) and submit your photos and/or short videos by February 20th. Submissions will be featured on our social media channels, our website, and newsletter. You can find out more information via our website event page. Submissions are open to all. Feel free to share this opportunity with colleagues and friends in the industry. Together, we can make International Women’s Day a collective celebration of support, advancement, and inclusion.”
